West Ham captain Dagny Brynjarsdottir admitted her embarrassment as the Hammers showed “too much respect” to Conti Cup semi-final opponents Chelsea in their anaemic 7-0 defeat on Thursday night.
Brynjarsdottir’s post-match comments echoed the sentiments of manager Paul Konchesky, who felt compelled to issue an apology to West Ham supporters after admitting his own embarrassment of the display.
Chelsea were ruthlessly clinical as they fired four past Mackenzie Arnold in goal before the interval, the first arriving inside the opening three minutes and the fourth in injury time.
